Environmental monitor gains analogue capabilities
The sensorProbe 2A, from the AKCP environmental monitoring products family, is an enhanced version of the sensorProbe with an analogue measuring capability.
It has eight multipurpose relays that are easily controlled by any of AKCP's extensive selection of sensors.
The relays can be programmed to provide automatic responses to sensor status changes.
Typical applications include advanced process control such as on/off switching of appliances, activating alarms or any other situation which requires switching of power depending on a sensor's status.
Setting up the sensor controlled relay is easy.
The parent unit will autosense and configure the web interface accordingly.
The relays can also be controlled directly via any computer or network management system on the same network using the included SNMP command line utilities, either interactively or programmatically.
The ability to program automatic responses to sensor changes gives users more flexibility in reacting to the environmental alerts.
It eliminates the need for user intervention during the alarm condition, preventing substantial damage by enabling the ability to switch on/off crucial equipment, exhaust fans, or external alarm condition lights.
The rack-mountable unit is designed for use with securityProbe product line.
Up to eight of these units can be connected to a single securityProbe, allowing for a maximum of 64 relays.
